Just bought my first synth the other day. It has a lot of sliders, knobs and letters like LFO and VCO, but I'm pretty pumped to learn about it.

Modular synths kind of freak me out, but I love watching Andrew's obvious joy here. He raises an interesting point about music as an elastic ongoing experience rather than a fixed commodity. I've spent way more time working for hire than making my own music for its own sake, so it's hard for me to get over the nagging voice saying TIME IS MONEY, FINISH THE THING AND MOVE ON and just enjoy the act of creating music.

@@danielkisielewski7612 Small cables??? It is mono 2.5mm audio plugs, the same physical size as your earphone jacks. Perfectly doable. You would need to get braille on the front to find your way around. Some friend may help you there. The real issue for live performance is that you need to memorize everything instead finding knobs by looking in real time. Otherwise I do not think it is not doable. Maybe find a studio or musician where you can check it out yourself...

Man, I love the way you talk about "the constantly flowing river of possibilities that (you) can just dip into here and there." I was thinking of how intimidating all those cables and knobs looked, thinking how I tend to get intimidated by so much possibility, wanting to be able to try, understand, and be able to reproduce everything. But I love how you embrace the ephemeral nature of it, how anything you don't record you get to enjoy, "in the moment, just once, just me, and now it's gone."

To be fair, nothing kills creativity like browsing thru hundreds of presents of a digital synth. Having no ability to save presets in modulars might seem like a disadvantage, but it actually makes you mode productive, forces you to be creative, ensures you get unique and new sounds every time, and makes you make decisions and then work with it.

I will offer some encouragement: I've always been a jazz pianist, but I've used digital synths since the 90s because... gigs. I never got deep into the tech side of those because I absolutely hated the terrible samples. I always loved things like Rhodes, Wurli, and analog synths because they weren't trying to imitate anything. However, I'd watch clips of Chick Corea, etc. on an old Moog with all the wires, and I'd think there's no way I could ever undertake such a steep learning curve. I bought my first analog synths this summer, and while I am learning slowly, I am absolutely OBSESSED with the process! It is so completely fascinating, once you plug one in and marvel at the potential (not that I can realize those potential yet). I bought several semi-modulars and one with keys, but I'm still just working my way through the functions of Drummer From Another Mother, from Moog. One big difference right out of the gate, for the first time buyer, is in how Moog presents their information. There's just no comparison between the manuals, which is to say that Moog really walks you the process with the assumption that it's all brand new to you... and exciting! The manuals are very conversational in style; totally informal, and their philosophy as a company comes through with every page. It really makes it feel like you have a friend there with you, kindly and patiently showing you all the ropes. I got Moog's DFAM, Mother-32, and the Subharmonicon; all the manuals are presented in the same fashion. I just can't recommend them enough. Should you ever decide to take the plunge, the Mother-32 would probably be your best bet for versatility out of the box. I also have the Behringer Crave, which is VERY similar to the Mother-32, at about a third of the price... with greatly expanded capabilities, compared to the Mother-32. You can't beat that price ($200 USD), but I too might be overwhelmed if I hadn't started with Moog's manuals first. The Crave is probably about the most affordable option that includes a patch bay, so it really is a fantastic deal; but the Moog's comforting introduction is incomparable to any of the other gear I have, so that's a great option as well...

You're a true scholar. You're also the first musician, composer, and producer from the millennial generation that can function as a musical influence to me. I had two years of music theory '73-'75 and continued pursuing it since that time. Progressive music was my domain... strongest musical influences came from people born 8-18 years before me: Yes, Genesis, ELP, Beatles, Joni, Dylan, Reich, etc. In the 21st century, the top influence thus far is Sigur Ros and Bjork. It's become hard to find inspiration from talent half my age. Thank you for making it much easier.

I recommend VCV Rack. It's free. It's open source. Most of its modules are clones of hardware modules which makes deciding what you want to buy much easier. As for modular being expensive, it isn't all that bad. A lot of companies offer their mods not completely assembled so if you can use a screwdriver, you can save some cash. They often have the circuit board and components for sale if you're handier and can do some fairly simple electrical work. You could spend, for example, 250, 190, 65 for the same module. Go make some noise, kids! Help the ever-broadening acceptance of stranger and stranger timbres.

Nothing to do with Theory. That's the beauty of Synthesis. It can be Musical, or Mad Science! If you understand your signal flow... id est, *SOURCE* to *DESTINATION* & can grasp concepts as simple as plugging a Guitar into an Amp, turning the volume up... you can make a Sound. Furthermore, you can start learning how to make the Sounds in your head. Invariably, doing so long enough will result in cursory understanding of basic Music Theory simply by osmosis.

I love synthesizers and messing around with sound in general, but modular synthesis is a beast I don't think I'll ever get into, except maybe in VST form. That being said, I still really enjoy hearing what people can do with modular synths! Also, I'm one of, like, 3 people who actually got your reference to The Mae Shi. I remember that I had been listening to some of their music on the day you uploaded this. Pretty interesting coincidence! (For anyone who doesn't know, The Mae Shi is the band he mentions that Don Buchla's son Ezra was in. He flashes an image of their first album Terrorbird at 1:28)

Great video! I particularly enjoyed hearing you describe the aspects you enjoy most about modular synths, especially since I feel the same way. Not just the ability to construct a very personal instrument, but that they are very interactive, and in subtle ways, collaborative - inviting and sometimes forcing you to be completely in the moment... and that often times the best part of making a great patch, after appreciating it, is pulling it all apart. And, thanks for the shout out ;D

Stumbled upon this video somehow, but this is the PERFECT introduction to modular for an outsider. I have a small system that I'm keeping small/utilitarian, and messing with it is always so much fun and in the moment and meditative. I feel like I get more involved in the music creation process with modular than I do with any by using just software or separate hardware instruments. I also love how you showed modular being used to make a more sort of traditional pop song because I mostly see it being used to make sort of funky instrumental things. This is also exhibited by Douglas J McCarthy's solo album, as well as his project Black Line. Anyways. Subscribed.

Best way to start, IMO: check out the Make Noise 0-Coast. Not modular but compatible with Eurorack, really fun, and (relatively) inexpensive.

the Pittsburgh modular lifeforms sv-1 would be a better route imo. it has everything a basic eurorack system needs and is a really good building block to start from. I had one but returned it because I realized I already had synths that cover the same ground but if I didn't have my sub 37 I definitely would've kept it. SUPER fat sounding and great place to start.

Yes and no. I've found that sometimes you hit the mark on what you want but generally as soon as you start patching, what you initially wanted goes out the window and process/'flowstate' and experementation take hold :)

Hey Andrew, I've been watching your videos for a couple years and I've got to say this is great content! Posting because I finally made the step and I'm getting into modular synthesizers. This is a new thing for me, but I've been studying up to get a better idea of how these machines work. I've got an oscillator and a couple of other modules coming, looking forward to putting it all together.

It is very interesting to me to see how these types of electronic music systems have survived, are flourishing and have so many devotees today. More years ago than I want to think about I was involved with a UK company called Electronic Music Studios of Putney, developing and repairing their VCS3 and Synthi A synthesisers. I remember spending many hours patching odd soundscapes.

I noticed you didn’t mention MuffWiggler, so figured I’d plug it here. Seems to be the premier forum for modular synth users. There are many helpful people there, glad to give people advice if they’re just starting out. Also, the documentary “I dream of wires: hardcore edition” is the perfect starting point to get a taste of the history of modular synth and how to evolved into where it’s at w/ the Eurorack scene today.
